! So beautiful, and clever. He can understand everything! Patiently waiting for his meals!

Before I finish this blog I want to write down the general picture I got from this visit here in St. Petersburg.

I had the chance to chat with locals and most of these people want to run away giving an opportunity to their families, their kids trying to find refuge in other countries. The majority of people cannot save a single penny because the money they get is not enough to cover the expenses of the month.

Yes, there are huge Supermarkets with a variety of all kinds of things, but the question is…..Who buys? Even for us Europeans it is an expensive country.

Restaurants are even more expensive, and only the very rich can afford to enter them

A beautiful country ….yes, but without prospects for the middle and lower class.

I will never forget the time we spent filling forms, paying money, sealing envelopes with my data mailed directly to the government, and the long queue and time spent to pass through the check point at the airport!!

In all it was a wonderful trip, made new friends, but felt so sorry for the people I leave behind, because of the way the country treats its people!
